It feels like a major oversight that this is the first museum survey of the Venezuelan-born, L.A.-based artist’s prolific career. Magdalena Suarez Frimkess is an intergral part of the tradition of California ceramics, but often, she has become more of the artist’s artist than celebrated on an institutional level. Along with works made collaboratively with her husband, Michael Frimkess, who share a home studio in Venice, Magdalena Suarez Frimkess: The Finest Disregard at LACMA feels like both an introduction and reintroduction of the artist’s influential career. At the age of 95, it was long overdue.
